Government has an important role to play to accelerate and de-risk the deployment of the next generation of digital infrastructure - setting the structures; supporting experimentation and testing; helping to reduce the costs; and above all for leadership and setting ambition. At Autumn Statement 2016 we made a clear commitment to digital connectivity, including the allocation of £740 million from the National Productivity Investment Fund to support the market to roll out of next generation digital infrastructures.” https://www.ericsson.com/en/networks/trending/hot-topics/fixed-wireless-access/5g-fixed- wireless-access 5G fixed wireless access How FWA will massively scale with 5G Hot topics • Fixed Wireless Access • 5G fixed wireless access With the evolution to 5G, Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) offers a path to deployments on a massive scale and better services for customers. 5G FWA changes the economics of connecting homes and businesses Today, there is already a strong business case for using FWA as an add-on improvement to mobile broadband (MBB). FWA is particularly attractive in areas where there is no existing copper, fiber, or hybrid infrastructure to deliver wired broadband, or when the current fixed infrastructure is unable to provide sufficient service. The business case for FWA only becomes stronger as LTE continues to advance to 5G. One of the 5G use cases currently gaining momentum around the globe is using FWA to provide broadband service for homes and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). With the help of 5G, Fixed Wireless Access will grow on a massive scale With 10 to 100 times more capacity than 4G networks, 5G will enable cost-efficient FWA deployments on a massive scale. Using larger ranges of radio spectrum to provide consumers with low latency connectivity (1ms) and major capacity gains, the evolution to 5G will take FWA to a whole new level. Fixed Wireless Access on a massive scale with 5G 5G will enable cost-efficient FWA solutions on a massive scale, with 10 to 100 times more capacity than 4G networks. Using larger chunks of radio spectrum to provide consumers with low latency connectivity (1ms) and major improvements to capacity, the evolution to 5G will take FWA to a whole new level. 5G FWA is an attractive alternative to wireline solutions The bulk of the cost involved in fixed access deployments (as well as much of the complexity) is associated with the "last mile” portion of the network that reaches the user premises. Compared with fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and other wireline solutions, FWA offers a variety of benefits, including significantly faster service rollout, lower rollout costs and lower OPEX. Build for the future with 5G FWA 5G FWA is expected to enable robust services at sustainable rates high enough to meet the needs for residential use well into the future. 5G FWA will not only eliminate the need for costly deployment of deep-fiber fixed access infrastructure, it will offer peak rates that few fixed technologies will be able to match. https://www.lifewire.com/5g-internet-wifi-4156280 5G Internet: The High-Speed Replacement for Cable? 5G Wi-Fi could be the best option in some areas Updated March 06, 2019 If you want fiber-like speeds without the cost, or high-speed internet in an area that doesn’t currently provide it, then 5G Wi-Fi might be something to look into. While it isn’t available everywhere quite yet, there are several reasons to consider using 5G at home when it does roll out in your country. 5G Wi-Fi in the context of a 5G network is not the same as 5 GHz Wi-Fi supported by some routers. See 5G vs 5 GHz Wi-Fi for an explanation. What Is 5G Wi-Fi? Similar to how you get Wi-Fi at home right now, either through an existing wireless service like microwave or satellite, or a direct wired connection like cable or fiber, 5G is be able to deliver internet to your home via a direct wireless connection. 5G Wi-Fi is simply Wi-Fi that's providing internet access from a 5G wireless network. The way this works is through fixed wireless access (FWA), which is a base station that wirelessly connects directly to an end-user’s location, specifically to a fixed wireless terminal (FWT) on the premises, like your home or business. Once internet service via 5G Wi-Fi is at the home, for example, your existing Wi-Fi router (or a new, special router) provides internet throughout your house just like it done now. Why Get 5G Internet? 5G Wi-Fi could be a good idea for a number of reasons. For starters, it'll be really fast — at a minimum theoretical speed of 20 Gbps (2.5 GBs) per cell, it's set to be over 10 times faster than 4G and most likely faster than many types of wired home connections. 5G Speed: How to Understand the Numbers Another aspect is the extremely low latency standard that 5G networks are required to abide by. This means that everything you currently do on the internet will be a lot faster, like downloading files, sharing data, uploading videos, online gaming, movie streaming, etc. All of your devices could connect to the internet without suffering from congestion, video buffering, random disconnects, and other bandwidth related hiccups, meaning even more bandwidth demanding devices could be used at home like virtual reality headsets, augmented reality apps, etc. 5G is also capable of reaching people in areas that don’t have the existing infrastructure to provide reliable internet, or internet at all. This could be anywhere that wired access is unavailable like in rural areas, new construction sites, developing countries, etc. Another benefit to 5G Wi-Fi is its reduced cost. Lots of the expense related to network infrastructure, especially high-speed technology like fiber, is the hardware between the provider and the home or business.

  • Wireless LAN Technology: Current State and Future Trends
    Wireless LAN Technology: Current State and Future Trends Zahed Iqbal Helsinki University of Technology Telecommunications Software and Multimedia Laboratory [email protected] Abstract In this paper, a comprehensive overview of the current state and future trends of Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) has been presented. This document stud- ies and compares two most competing commercialy potential WLAN technologies, namely IEEE 802.11 and ETSI HiperLAN. This study also addresses the challenges of their coexistance and convengences towards a global standards. KEYWORDS: Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), IEEE 802.11, ETSI, HiperLAN 1 Introduction Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is a flexible data communication system that can either replace or extend a wired LAN to provide added functionality. Using Radio Fre- quency (RF) technology, or Infrared (IR) WLANs transmit and receive data over the air, through wall, ceilings, and even cement structures, without wired cabling. A WLAN pro- vides all the features and benefits of traditional LAN technologies like Ethernet and Token Ring, but without the limitations of being connected by a cable. This provides greatly increased freedom and flexibility. [8] Wireless Local Area Networks have been used increasingly in many critical applications over the past few years, particularly since 1997 when the first IEEE802.11 WLAN standard was issued followed by its European competitor standard High Performance LAN (Hiper- LAN). In certain locations, the use of WLANs could save millions of dollars in cost and deployment time when compared to permanent wired networks. In other locations, WLAN services are complimentary to existing wired LANs adding the advantage of user mobility.

Information technologies have become ubiquitous all over the world, including in developing countries like Kenya. Already, educational, health and trade networks connecting remote regions to the rest of the world are taking advantage of the Internet phenomenon. Banks, insurance and financial services firms, and other corporations need data communications for real time information gathering, automated remote services, intra-corporate voice and data communications, etc. However, like in many developing countries, communications infrastructure in Kenya is woefully underdeveloped and ill prepared to satisfy the increasing demand for data communications.

  • 5G: Issues & Challenges
    RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE 5G: ISSUES & CHALLENGES March 2017 The issues and challenges surrounding 5G The telecoms industry is currently in the process of designing the technologies that are due to take over from 4G, which is still being deployed today. A great deal of work is thus underway to prepare these “5G” technologies. To prepare for the arrival of this new generation of technologies, Arcep wanted to take a detailed look at the industry to better understand what is in the works. This report is the fruit of the interviews and research that Arcep conducted over the course of 2016, and which the Authority wanted to publish as a way to contribute to the public debate over 5G. Its aim it to provide as objective and exhaustive an overview as possible, and deliver a concise, informative snapshot of the work that is currently underway on the future generation of mobile networks. This report reflects the views of the stakeholders who were interviewed, but in no way represents Arcep’s positions on or roadmap for 5G. Arcep awarded in 2015 the 700 MHz band and is currently working towards licensing the 3.5 GHz band, both of which have been identified as 5G bands. Arcep is also working with the Direction générale des entreprises and the Agence nationale des fréquences towards enabling spectrum for 5G. Arcep would like to thank all of the entities (listed on the last page) who agreed to take part in this process, and who were willing to contribute to the regulator’s investigation into the development of 4G’s successor.

  • Structure of IEEE 802.11 Packets at Various Physical Layers
    Appendix A: Structure of IEEE 802.11 Packets at Various Physical Layers This appendix gives a detailed description of the structure of packets in IEEE 802.11 for the different physical layers. 1. Packet Format of Frequency Hopping Spread-spectrum Physical Layer (FHSS PHY) The packet is made up of the following elements (Figure A.1): 1.1 Preamble It depends on the physical layer and includes: – Synch: a sequence of 80 bits alterning 0 and 1, used by the physical circuits to select the correct antenna (if more than one are in use), and correct offsets of frequency and synchronization. – SFD: start frame delimiter consists of a pattern of 16 bits: 0000 1100 1011 1101, used to define the beginning of the frame. 1.2 Physical Layer Convergence Protocol Header The Physical Layer Convergence Protocol (PLCP) header is always transmitted at 1 Mbps and carries some logical information used by the physical layer to decode the frame: – Length of word of PLCP PDU (PLW): representing the number of bytes in the packet, useful to the physical layer to detect correctly the end of the packet. – Flag of signalization PLCP (PSF): indicating the supported rate going from 1 to 4.5 Mbps with steps of 0.5 Mbps. Even though the standard gives the combinations of bits for PSF (see Table A.1) to support eight different rates, only the modulations for 1 and 2 Mbps have been defined. – Control error field (HEC): CRC field for error detection of 16 bits (or 32 bits). The polynomial generator used is G(x)=x16 + x12 + x5 +1.

The use of hierarchial structure through Luis Munoz˜ two-layer networking has been even rarer. In many University of Cantabria, cases LMDS systems have strong advantages against Department of Communications its competitors to cover the last mile. In this article, Engineering, we review and analyze the standards currently Spain available and describe the European two-layer trial system developed in 1996–2000. We show why T. Sukuvaara further development towards IP based LMDS is useful in the future. Most of our recommendations VTT Electronics are based on results derived from the European Oulu, Finland Union supported research project CABSINET. It had the aim of demonstrating the viability of a 40 GHz cellular digital television system with a return channel to offer interactive services. Two systems were tested: a line of sight link using QPSK, and a non-line of sight with COFDM modulation scheme. In the RF-subsystems, the greatest difficulty of any viable LMDS system is to obtain a moderately low price for the user receiver, while fulfilling the hard OFDM requirements in terms of phase noise, stability and spectrum restrictions.
